Wait, are you saying that his analogies are terrible because they are not real things that happen? [1] A 64 GB tablet shipping with 23 GB free is a real thing that happens even though it shouldn't, which makes his analogies fair. 1. http:/

The article casts a wide net for what defines an ambivert: Ambiverts [...] are people who are neither extremely introverted nor extremely extroverted. What can we really say about this third group if we are including everyone who is not a

That's not how depreciation works. If the rule of thumb is 15% per year, then it is 15% off of the remaining value , meaning a new-ish Honda Accord would be worth about $9,400 after six years (about $216/mo). Whereas if you take 15% of $25

Of course, see my edit. The $300–400/mo is more than a tad on the high side though.

by albedoa 14y ago
Sure, and that's a $36,000 difference over those ten years. It's much easier to break even when you make that change :D

maybe $300-400/mo for the car itself. This is true only if you ever own a car white it is under financing and it loses its full value over the course of the loan. Edit: unless you were simply dividing the cost of the car over the number o

In what way? How has he taken more of a position on the election outcome than a weather forecaster does on weather outcome?

by albedoa 14y ago
Exactly this. A fair bet is theoretically passing money back and forth. Silver should offer the worst odds that Scarborough is likely to accept, which should be 1:1 is Scarborough is as confident as he claims.

Citing statistical models based on massive samples of polling data is not biased reporting; it's based on fact, on what's actually happening. What the the media should not be saying is that the race is close when it isn't. It has no basis i

Yes, we understand what he means to say, but his words say the opposite. He meant to say: "As effort increases, simplicity increases." He instead said: "As effort increases, simplicity decreases."

"Most people just make the mistake that it should be simple to design simple things. In reality, the effort required to design something is inversely proportional to the simplicity of the result." Sort of off-topic, but did Mr. Fielding mea

Even if you stand against the current patent system, it's how it works right now, so that suggestion is a little bit of blaming the victim. Apple were told that they have a valid patent by the office which makes those determinations. How ar

I agree. Opening your comment with "I don't know if you're joking, but" is insulting to the OP. It might fly on other forums, but it has no place here. It's condescending. Not to mention that "2 or 3 years" ago was when Apple introduced the

Only you can define what your signature looks like. That is why you didn't have any issues. They don't check the signature against anything, if that's what you mean. See this comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4345214 A few ye

There are some good arguments both in this thread and in your blog, and both for and against the two types of charts. One thing that you would have to make absolutely clear to your audience when using the "sausage" chart [1] is that the len

I felt immediately betrayed by the author and didn't want to believe anything else he had to say. It is fine if the goal was to not have my trust, but I don't know why that would be the case here.

Yes! Mathias, if you could do something like this, it would be very helpful. I didn't even know about .osx. Edit: And I don't even know how to search for information about it since the dot is ignored in Google and GitHub :D

A solution to this would be for Twitter to post the t.co URL if the original URL is longer than the t.co URL or if the original URL is too long to fit in the tweet. Else, it would display the original URL but direct it to the t.co URL for t

It doesn't even need to be that desperate. I understand the math, and I play the lottery every once in a while for the same reason that perfectly rational people visit casinos: it's fun and carries a non-zero chance of a payoff that is more
